Driving these things in urban settings is a comedy of errors.
Do these things have SBC like other 2000-2006 Mercedes'? A complaint with SBC was poor brake pedal feel.

It's a shock such a big car as this would have narrow seats, especially for such a large SUV.

I thought the 450 was a V8, and was unaware the GL was offered in a diesel.
